Green Onion, Tomato and Garlic Risotto


If you have ever had risotto at a restaurant you know how good it is.  It is basically rice-a-roni on steroids.... So good.  You will love the freshness of the tomatoes and the green onions.  I could have eaten the whole pan, but luckily for me, I did not.  


1 med. onion
1 bunch green onions chopped
3 cloves of garlic chopped
olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup rice
3 cups of chicken broth heated in a pot to the side keeping hot
2 tomatoes chopped
1 cup of peas

In a saute pan on medium heat 2 tbsp of olive oil add the onion, white parts of green onions (reserve green section for later) add garlic and stir till onions are translucent.  Add wine and reduce by 1/3, add rice and 1/3 of chicken broth.  Stir frequently when liquid is almost gone add 1/2 of broth and repeat until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.  Add the peas and cook for 2 minutes more, add tomatoes and green parts of green onions and serve.
